Answer:
16 m.
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained the following data:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 8 m/s
Initial time (t1) = 0 sec
Final time (t2) = 2 secs
Net Displacement (ΔD) =?
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of the displacement of an object with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Change in velocity (Δv) = change in displacement (ΔD) / change in time (Δt)
Δv = ΔD / Δt
Next we shall determine the change in velocity and time. This is illustrated below below:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 8 m/s
Change in velocity (Δv) =?
Change in velocity (Δv) = v – u
Change in velocity (Δv) = 8 – 0
Change in velocity (Δv) = 8 m/s
Initial time (t1) = 0 sec
Final time (t2) = 2 secs
change in time (Δt) =?
change in time (Δt) = t2 – t1
change in time (Δt) = 2 – 0
change in time (Δt) = 2 secs.
Finally, we shall determine the net displacement of the object as follow:
Change in velocity (Δv) = 8 m/s
change in time (Δt) = 2 secs.
Net Displacement (ΔD) =?
Δv = ΔD / Δt
8 = ΔD/2
Cross multiply
ΔD = 8 × 2
ΔD = 16 m
Therefore, the net displacement of the object is 16 m.
